  1. my first handsaw

    Hey everyone, I've been pretty busy lately, but I got a little time in the shop and was able to build this saw. It has a brass back that I slotted on my schools horizontal mill, and a .020 1095(I think) springsteel plate. I made he nuts by hand using 9/16 brass bar stock. I got all of my...
  2. Dog Bone Knobs

    Seems like I can never find a jig knob when I need one. I'm always robbing from one jig to use on another. I've seen others making their own knobs but most just seem too complicated to bother with. Today I was browsing Jay Bates website and watched his "Trash to Treasures" video. He described...
  3. New Woodworker: My First Project - Banana Hanger

    Hi, I'm just setting up shop. This is my first woodworking project. I wanted a beginning project that would fit the few tools I have acquired so far. I have tried to design the hanger with curves to reflect it's function. The base also holds a bowl for other types of fruit. I guess I was...
  4. Hockey Puck Holder

    Had a few hockey pucks sitting around and figured it would be cool to frame them. I tried putting them in a goalie stick's blade using a hole 3" hole saw, but didn't like the end result. Ended up using the hockey sticks as a frame instead. Showed the wife and now I have an order in for our...
  5. Dad's Nut House

    Here's another project from my (recent) pre-woodworking days. I've always been into making stuff, and before I "knew" how to work wood (or had the proper tools to do so) I work with what I had or could find. This is actually inspired from a cedar peanut "basket" Rob (my BIL) made one Christmas...
  6. Hat Making Tool: Restored Maillard Allie Formillon, with a new Plot Base Board, and Thumb-Nut Wrench

    This is a hat making tool, used to transfer the head shape measured with a Conformer or a Conformateur , to the actual sweat band of a hat. This allows any bumps, or dents in a person's skull to be translated to the shape of the hat. ------------------------- Purchasing Formillon (Formillion)...
  7. Ambrosia Maple Fruit Bowl

    I received two nice bowl blanks of ambrosia maple and made different fruit/nut bowls. I forgot to photograph the other before I sent it to the person who bought the blanks. I think this bowl is a little boxy, I want the next one to have a nicer bowl curve. Finish is beeswax, very...
  8. Wood & Lumber
    Was rummaging at my local saw mill and came across this piece. He said he got in trade for some mesquite. He was told it was maple burl. Being that we don't have many maple trees down here in south Texas. Can anyone help confirm this? many thanks Alonzo
  9. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hey guys, So as many of you know, I'm a permanent member of the anonymous pen turners club. I've been tinkering with the kits to make something that isn't available commercially. Hence the big question: do you know of a supplier that sells the kits not as a whole but that sells the parts...
  10. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I hope I am wrong but it seems that all Home Hardware stores are going to stop selling most of their fasteners from bulk bins. Until this happens they are selling off their bulk bin stock at 50% off. I just bought $150 worth of screws, bolts, nuts, and specialty fasteners for $75. I just...
